    Well done! Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb, unless that verb is 'be'.

    Ex
    The band frequently performed at music festivals in the summer.

    Well done! In a sentence with both an auxiliary verb and main verb, the adverb of
    frequency goes between the two.
     We have never managed to come to an agreement, so we haven't bought the house.

     Basically, what you’re trying to say is that you can’t make it to my party on Friday.
     Well done! Adverbs of opinion tend to go at the beginning of the sentence.

    The aeroplane flew rapidly over the bright blue ocean.


      Well done! Adverbs of manner tend to follow the verbs that they describe.

    The weather is rarely warm in the UK in December.


     Well done! We always put the adverb of frequency after the main verb 'be'.

    EXPRESSING PURPOSE

     Sorry. For is normally followed by a noun or an -ing verb

     Well done! We use 'for' to explain the purpose of a tool or action.

     TO: Well done! This is the infinitive of purpose. It explains why you do something.

    Anna bought herself a guitar so that she could play her favourite Beatles songs.
    Well done! 'So' explains why we do something!

     I’ve got this great new app! It’s for helping me to count the number of calories
    in my meals.
     Well done! We use 'for' to explain the purpose of a tool or action.
    Uncountable nouns

    The guidebook on Rome has some information about the best places to eat, shop and stay.
     Well done! 'Some' can be used with countable or uncountable nouns.

    If you need advice about your mortgage, we are always happy to help.
     Well done! 'Advice' is uncountable!

    There was a great atmosphere at the match on Saturday because  the fans’ behavior was very
    friendly.
    Well done! 'Behaviour' is uncountable. This sentence is correct

    I always love having lunch at that restaurant because the furniture is beautiful.
    Well done! 'Furniture' is uncountable. We can use 'the' with uncountable nouns.

    Past perfect simple and continuous

    The fans were angry because the band had cancelled the concert five minutes before it was
    due to start.
    Well done! This is the past perfect simple

    She  had been dreaming of working in the Shanghai office when


    suddenly she was offered a transfer to Shanghai by her boss.
     Well done! The past perfect continuous is used to talk about a continuing situation
    in the past before another action

    The past perfect continuous is used for an action in progress at a time before
    another past action

    At the press conference, the police explained they had found


    the missing man on an island in the South Pacific.
     Well done. The past perfect simple means that they found him before they
    explained where they found him
    By 1994 the band had reached the top of the charts with a
    number one hit.
    Well done! The past perfect here shows us that this action was completed before a
    specific past time.

    COMPARATIVE

    T here are just as many great restaurants in San Francisco as there are in
    Los Angeles.
    Well done! That’s correct. We can use as much/many…as… to compare quantity.
    Here, the quantity being compared is restaurants, which is a countable noun, so
    we use ‘as many…as ’ instead of ‘as much…as’.

    The more time I spend in this city, the more I love it!
    Well done! That’s correct. We can use the more (x)…the more (y)… to show that
    when a particular activity, feeling etc increases (x), it causes something else (y) to
    change at the same time.

    Would you like to have a quick chat in my office where there


    is a greater degree of privacy?
    Well done! That’s correct. The comparative form of ‘great’ is ‘greater’.

    Repairing my phone was a lot more complicated than I had


    expected
    Well done! That’s correct. We often use than after the comparative when
    comparing two things.
